Charlotte Eielson Ariyan, MD, PHD

Dr.Charlotte Ariyan met with me to discuss potential melanoma remnants after removal. Dr.Charlotte Ariyan paid great attention to my care and even brought her team to discuss any questions about post-op care and continued evaluation I may have. She was very thorough in discussing all options with me and answered all my questions in great detail, despite being so busy. Dr.Charlotte Ariyan also discussed different non-invasive solutions and new innovations available today in case a need for future biopsies arises, and also told me about new techniques for regular evaluation. She displayed great professionalism and depth of knowledge, along with very high attention to detail. She also had a very warm and friendly bedside manner. I truly appreciate the care and knowledge Dr.Charlotte Ariyan and her team had provided! She is a true expert in her field, and so is her team!

Dr. Ariyan is exceptional. During the scariest, most difficult time in our lives, she delivered incredible care and outstanding service. She spoke in a language we could understand , answered many questions and offered the support and resources that we needed .We had to travel a distance for our teenage daughter to see her, putting our faith and hope into a complete stranger. We will always be thankful for the path that lead us to her. Our daughter’s melanoma experience was traumatic. While delivering amazing medical care, she was able to also treat us with compassion and understanding -making us feel like people that mattered vs just a number in the system. Her skilled hands and knowledge is a gift. Her patience, kindness and empathy is something we will never forget. Going through tests and cancer removal is hard enough- she did many things she did not have to do in order to take a little less off of our plate. Even the thought she put into scheduling the location of our follow up appt. was beyond kind .We were so overwhelmed and she made that just a little less difficult when she did not have to. We did not realize how big of a blessing that was until surgery was over. The little things turned out to be the big things. I would recommend her to anyone . We will forever be grateful that through this scary journey we were blessed to have her be our surgeon.

I met with Dr. Charlotte Ayiran today because I was diagnosed with melanoma last week. I got an appointment in three days and met her andd her team today. I’m having surgery on the 27th. I trust the hospital and the professionals because they are outstanding.

Everyone I encountered, from door guard, front desk, registration, various assistants and nurses in Dr. Ariyan's team, are extremely professional, courteous, and in good manner. Waiting time is tolerable, experienced NP Ms. Sheila Foote checks and answers various questions in between, and Dr. Charlotte Ariyan spends ample time with patients to reassuringly gives out treatment/action plan. The MSK Westchester facility is very clean (with lots of air-purify plants) and organized.

Dr Ariyan is a wonderful doctor. Dr Ariyan and her team did a fantastic surgery in removing a 7lb 20 inch soft tissue sarcoma!!!! It was a very intensive surgery and the team was able to remove tumor away from my sciatic nerve. I am extremely grateful for Dr Ariyan and her team for their knowledge,expertise on sarcomas.
